CURIOSlTiES OF ALLOYS.
some. of the Difficulties Experienced in tn
Working of Gold.

Some of the Difficulties Experienced in the
Working of Gold.
The way in which an alloy of gold
and copper or other metal is affected
by small quantity of impurity pre-
sents one of the most serious difficulties
with which our case-makers and
Jewellers have to deal in working gold.
1t has long been known to workers in
the precious metal that minute quantities
of certain metals render it brittle and
unavoidable; and referring to this, in a
lecture at Birmingham, Prof. Roberts
Austen, of the Royal Mint, said:
at may be well to demonstrate the
fact. Here are two hundred soveregns
will melt them, and will add, in the
form of tiny shot, minute portion of
lead amounting to only the two thous-
andth part of the mass; first, however,
pouring little of the gold into small
ingot, which we can bend and fatten,
thus proving to you that it is perfectly
soft, ductile, workable. The rest of the
mass we will pour into bar; and now
that it is sufficiently cold to handle, you
see that am able to break it with my
fingers, or, at least, with n slight tap of
a hammer. The color of the gold is
quite altered, and has become orange
brown; and experiments have shown
that the tenacity of the metal-that is,
the resistance of the gold to being
pulled asunder-has been reduced from
eighteen tons per square inch to only
five tons. These essential changes in
the property of the metal have been
produced by the addition Of minute
quantity of lead"
In the same lecture Professor Roberts
Austen said Here is bar of tin, two
feet long and one inch thick, which il
would be most difficult to break, though
1t would readily bend double. If only
I rub little quicksilver on its surface
remarkable effect will be produced
the fluid metal will penetrate the solid
one, and in few seconds the bar will
as you see, break readily, the fractured
surface being white, like silver. ~

THE FRANCS T1REURS.
Bands cf Grerillas Who FIouriSlIed During
the Franco-German War.

the FrancO-German War.
Between Laon and Rheims. passed
through Chalons and Epernay, at which
places | saw, for the first time, the
Francs Tireurs, or free-shooters, a corps
to which must devote few lines by
way of description. The corps was, in
the most comprehensive possible mean
ing of the word, irregular. The men
who composed it were not only irregular
in every thing they did, but appeared tc
glory in their irregularity. They seemed
to have very few officers, and the few
they had were seldom, if ever, to be seen
on duty with the men. The latter had
evidently souls above obedience, for they
did very much what they liked, and in
the manner they liked. They evidently
hated the regular army, and the latter
returned the compliment with interest.
When at Epernay l witnessed a skirmish
between a battalion of regular infantry
and n small party of German Uhlans,
who were evidently feeling their way,
and trying to find out what was the
strength of the French troops there.
The officer commanding the French out
post behaved with great Judgment, try
ing by retiring his men to draw on the
Uhlans, and find out their numbers. He
had almost succeeded in enticing the
enemy to advance, and had managed to
hide the strength of his detachment,
when all at once q body. of Francs
Tireurs came up, and without waiting, or
even asking for orders, they began at
once to blaze away at the Germans,
causing the latter to retreat. The Of
ficer commanding was very angry, and
sent orders to the irregulars that they
were to cease firing forthwith; but they
took no notice of what was said, many
of them declaring in loud voice that
the regulars were playing the game OF
tho enemy, and did not want any of the
latter to be defeated or killed. When
an attempt was made to find out who
was in command of the Francs Treurs
no such person could be found, and on
an order being given that the command
ing officer would cause an official in
quiry to be made into the conduct of the
irregulars the whole corps, not less than
five hundred strong, vanished and dis
persed, so that they could no more be
found. All the Year Bound.

WITTY LABOUCHERE.
Two Anecdotes Regarding the Diplomatic
Career of tho Famous Editor.


Career of tho Famous Editor.
Henry Labouchere, NJ. p, editor OF
London Truth, was, for many years
after the war, secretary of the English
legation in Washington. He is remem-
bered here as a very wild young man.
He knew everybody and figured in so
ciety of all grades.
His Astounding humor frequently de-
veloped into practical jokes.
One day a rather green member Of
Congress called at the legation and
asked if he could see the Minister.
"You can see me, lam his secretary"
said Labouchere.
"But want to see the Minister "
said the Congressman.
"The Minister is not in"
"All right, I'll wait for him."
Certainly, sir; have q seat.'
The Congressman took chair and 6
newspaper, lighted cigar and settled
down for comfortable time of it. He
turned to Labouchere, who sat reading
novel and asked:
"Do you know when he will be bacl?'
"a do not" was the curt reply. The
Congressman lighted another cigar ant
strolled about the Office until another
hour was gone.
"Do you think he will be back this
EVENING""
Hardly"
Tomorrow"
81 guess not"
We'll, when will he probably be
here?"
Really, sir, l can not tell you. The
Minister sailed for England yesterday
and did not indicate when he intended
to return" replied Labouchere, with.
out lifting his eyes frem his book.
Labouchere was promoted from thl
secretaryship of the legation ilf Wash
ingtOn to similar position with the
English legation at Vienna. There he
was known as the liveliest Briton at the
court, and many are the tales that are
told of his reckless escapades. Once
on his way to London on leave o.
absence, he stopped at Monaco and los
his last penny at roulette He did not
blow his brains out, as the victims o.
that famous establishment so Otter
do, but retired to his elegant rooms
and entertained like lord until ht
could get remittance from some
friends in England. As soon as il
came he threw it down on the gaming
table, doubled five or six times, paid hi'
bills and set out for home. Toledo

A Glimpse at the Handsome Home ~
Mentor and Its Occupants.
In five years there have been many
notable changes in the Garfield family.
There have been no deaths, but the
children of whom the father was SO
fond have grown up. The two older
boys have begun a course in the Co.
lumbia College Law School, and Harry.
the elder, has been teaching in some
Eastern school, Both are graduates Of
Williams College. James R. Garfield
has been studying law with Judge
Boynton in Cleveland, and is looked
upon by friends of his father as the
son most like him in every way.
He has his fathers size, complexion,
eyes and manner. Both sons are now
men, and have, it is said, great am
bition. Miss Mollie, the only daughter,
is now young woman taller than her
mother, and has about finished her
studies. The two younger sons.
Abram and Irwin-the latter named
for General Irwin McDowell-are old
enough to enter school on the Hud-
son, and left home for their duties
there recently. They had never been
away from home alone before.
Since the preliminary education of
Abram and Irwin IN the Cleveland
public schools the mother has had no
further desire to live in a city. She
has ordered her mansion in Cleveland

the new part is behind and wholly sub

President lived. This still remains the
head and front of the Garfield home,
although remodeled to conform with
the addition. A $50, 900 addition to a
$1,000 house is curiosity in modern
architecture, but sentiment for the

air of aristocracy about the interior

THE INDIAN WAY.
Carriers Quaint Description of tho Tobac-
co-Smoking Red Man.


co-Smoking Red Man.
OF all the customs of the Indians
which Jacques Cartier observed, that
which struck him as the most novel and
singular was the use of tobacco. In
the narrative of his second voyage to
Canada, in 1885, occurs the following
quaint description: THE Indians have
an herb of which, during the summer
they gather great quantity for the
winter, and which they prize very
highly, and use (the men only in the
following manner: They dry it in the
sun and suspend it from their necks,
tied up in little skin instead of bag.
together with horn [cornet] of stone
or wood. Then, at all hours, they
make powder of the said herb and
put it in one end of the horn, and then
place live coal upon it; and through
the other end they blow so hard that
; their body is filled with smoke, so
much that it comes out of their mouth
and nostrils as out of chimney. They
say that this keeps them healthy and
warm, and they never go about without
these things. We have tried the said
smoke, and having had it in our mouth
it seemed to contain pepper, so great
was the heat" At that time the use OF
tobacco was unknown in France, and,
although the plant had been brought to
Spain and Portugal by the early OK
plorers of America, it was only quar-
ter of a century after Jacques Cartier 6
second voyage that the French Embas-
sador. Jean Nicot. sent the seed from

American Harvesting Machinery In Aus

Australian papers Just received announce
the award of the National Gold Medal to
AULTMAN, MILLER Il Co., of Akron, o., for
their Light Draft Buckeye Folding Binder,
as the result OF the National held trial held
in December last. The following, cut from
the Melbourne Argss of December l6 1886,
giving particulars of the contest, will be OF
interest. The Argus says
The field trial Of reapers and binders in
connection with the National Show ut
Shepparton was held on Tuesday, the 14th
inst, on Mr.. Guthrie's farm, about two
miles from ehepparton. Owing to the
pressure of harvest work, crops in all di-
rections being ripe, the attendance of farm
ers did not exceed $50, but great interest
was taken in the proceedings. AS at the
late show, the judges placed the Hornsby
machine first NJ Cormick second and tho
Woods third; the "Buckeye'' representa-
tive disliked being left out in the cold, and
demanded a field trial rs provided by tho
rules, the Mccormick also sharing in the
protest; so the prizes were held over pend
ing the field trial The crop was ripe

cutting, and the jolting ever the hard ciods
was toierably severe on horses, machines
and drivers. Two o'clock was the hour fixed
for the trial, but as the Buckeye was tho
only machine then ready, delay was
caused by the Hornsby and Mccormick
experts giving their machines pre-
| limnary run IN the adjoining block OIL crop,
and d start was not made until quarter
| past three. The five judges gave great at
| tention to their duties, and were ably Sec
onded by the subcommittee appointed by
| the society and the secretary, Mr.. Harold
B. Turnkey. About two acres were allotted
to each machine, and they finished in
,he following order: buckeye" hour 10
minutes; Hornsby, l hour 10 minutes;
| Mccormick, hour 26 minutes. The two
| latter machines were drawn by three
horses each, while two lighter horses
worked the "Buckeye" binder with equal
ease The decision of the judges was based
on the following scale of points:
